Shirou Learns to Be a Gentleman / Tokyo in a Frenzy

Shirou simply wanted to make friends. He didn't want a twisted love for all humanity like Izaya, nor did he want to be like Celty, who, despite being gentle, built a wall separating her from humanity.

He wanted to understand and explore perspectives on humanity in his own way.

Of course, this behavior inevitably sparked a fight among the girls. The boys in the class secretly said that it wouldn't be surprising if Shirou, caught in the middle, were to stab them one day.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only one in this school to encounter difficulties with women.

Bang bang bang!

There was an urgent knocking at the door.

The person knocking on the door was a girl, probably a high school freshman. However, her behavior was somewhat strange. She stared intently into the room, as if trying to pierce through the door with her gaze.

"Actually... actually, I've always liked Seiji! Do you remember? During the entrance exam, I sat next to Seiji! Because the guy sitting to my right had a really exaggerated surname, Ryūnomine, I wanted to see what the guy to my left's surname was, and I only glanced at him once before falling in love at first sight! From that day on, I've always remembered Seiji's name! Although I didn't have the courage to confess to you back then... but just last week, Seiji saved me, and I suddenly felt... ah, this is destiny! Do you know how much courage that gave me? So, so, let me see you! Seiji, I really want to see you full of energy! Please, please!"

This isn't the first or second time; ever since I saved this girl, she's come knocking on my door every day.

"If you leave again, I'll call the police!" the man called Seiji shouted, hiding in the room and showing no intention of opening the door.

"..." Finally, it got quiet outside.

A few days ago, he accidentally saved two girls who were being harassed by thugs because they looked somewhat like his beloved. However, he never expected that their personalities would be so different, and that the girl was a stalker. He was now completely entangled with her.

This crazy woman is named Akane Mika. The other girl, Sonohara, is a timid and obedient girl with glasses. Why did he have to be liked by such a crazy woman? What's worse, he found out that both of these girls had also been admitted to the school he wanted to attend, and they were even in the same class.

The thought of having to encounter this stalker girl every day if I went to school made me lose all motivation to go.

"Ah... that's true. Anyway, I already have a girlfriend. A quiet and beautiful girlfriend. As long as I'm with her, it doesn't matter if I don't go to high school. Or I can go to work, to the company where my older sister works, and see if I can be a part-time worker or something."

Seiji returned to the dimly lit room, sat down, and pulled out a four-liter drinking water bottle from the shadows. Upon closer inspection, he saw a glass bottle containing liquid that was being held by Seiji, inside which was the head of a beautiful woman.

"I just want to be with you." Seiji pressed his face affectionately against the glass bottle, wanting to kiss the beautiful head inside.

Chapter 942 Shirou's Gentlemanly Learning

Yagiri Seiji took advantage of the female stalker's departure to go downstairs to buy some daily necessities. However, when he returned to the apartment, he found the door open and a pair of women's shoes on the entryway.

The female stalker turned around in surprise and looked at him.

"You saw it?" Seiji asked, his eyes wide as he looked at the female stalker.

"Um... Seiji, I love you. No matter what your interests are, I'll love you," the female stalker said.

"Is that so? You saw it..." Seiji nodded blankly.

"Seiji?"

The man locked the door from the inside and then approached the female stalker; he had to get rid of her.

Seiji contacted his sister, who, through her connections, arranged for two men in black to easily stuff the female stalker into a box and take her away.

The older sister Yagiri Namie, who had been summoned, hugged her beloved younger brother and said softly, "It's alright, Seiji. Leave everything to your older sister."

Seiji let his sister hug him, silently holding the head inside the glass bottle. As long as he was with his girlfriend, nothing else mattered.

Yagiri Namie hugged her younger brother, glanced at the sleeping woman's head inside the glass bottle, and showed a look of utter disgust. She then looked at the female stalker who was about to be dealt with, and made a new plan in her mind.

She hated the woman's head. When her younger brother saw the woman, he was completely captivated by her. Not only did she steal his attention, but she also led him to secretly take the head and run away from home.

As for the female stalker who was harassing her younger brother, she found her as annoying as a fly or mosquito that she couldn't shake off.

However... if she could protect her younger brother and settle him down, she might be willing to make some concessions.

She stared at the severed head at the neck, lost in thought.

In an alley near Tornado Park in Ikebukuro, several dark-skinned, hot girls were surrounding a girl, bullying and verbally abusing her.

"Sonohara! You gossipy old woman, Akane Mika has disappeared, and you still dare to be so arrogant?"

"..."

The girl targeted was Sonohara Anri, Shirou's class representative. It seems that she was being targeted by someone she held a grudge against because her protector from middle school was no longer around.

"I heard you're the class monitor? And some boys like you? Stop pretending to be so innocent."

"That's what I'm saying. Back in junior high, you were just Meixiang's sidekick. Why are you trying to become class monitor?"

The three female students took turns verbally abusing Anri, but Anri did not respond.

At the other end of the alley, Ryugamine Mikado stood there awkwardly, having witnessed everything.

"Is this what they call bullying!?" Shirou suddenly asked.

"Eh? Emiya?" Faced with this situation, a somewhat bewildered Ryugamine Mikado suddenly turned around. He hadn't expected to encounter this incredible classmate here.

"Just call me Shirou, Teito. Are they going to fight? They seem weak; they're no match for Anri a single round," Shirou said, looking at the group surrounding the girl with glasses.

"No, no, it's clear that Sonohara is the weaker party. And even if they're hot girls, they wouldn't fight in the street, although this is bad enough, Sonohara was hurt a lot," Ryugamine Mikado remarked.

"I don't quite understand? You can get hurt by talking? What should we do then?" Shirou said.

"Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to pretend we didn't see it, but offending those girls will cause trouble," Teito said hesitantly.

"I understand, then let's go up together and stop them!" Shirou grabbed Teito and started walking forward.

"Eh!! Wait! What do you want to do?!" Teito asked, bewildered.

"Of course! I want them to be friends. Aren't girls just people who sometimes fight and sometimes sit down and have a pleasant meal together?" Shirou said with a hearty laugh.

"No, that's not how it is, Shirou-kun ~!" At that moment, a hand landed on Shirou 'Teito shoulder on each side, and it was Izaya Orihara, a man wearing a black coat.

"Who?"

"Ah, it's Izaya- san," Shirou greeted him.

"This is the right thing to do when something like this happens, watch closely." Izaya saying that, Izaya walked up to the group of delinquent girls and looked down at them.

"What... what are you doing?" one of the bullies asked, her voice tinged with fear. The target of her question wasn't Teito, but rather Izaya behind him.

"Hey, isn't this a bit much? Blocking people and threatening them in broad daylight, even if God forgives you, the police won't let you off the hook."

Speaking in a half-joking tone, Izaya said with a smile:

"Bullying others is cowardly, it's not good, it's really not good."

"None of your business, old man!"

Whether they were finally revealing their true nature or trying to bluff as much as possible, the three girls threatened Izaya with ferocious expressions.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with me."

Izaya grinned and expressed his thoughts to the three girls:

"Because it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me whether you get beaten up or die violently here. Whether I beat you up or stab you, it doesn't matter; conversely, you can call me an old man even if I'm only twenty-three years old. In short, there will never be any connection between you and me. All humans are interconnected, yet completely unconnected."

"Ah?"

"So, humans really are heartless."

After spouting a bunch of incomprehensible plausible arguments, Izaya took another step closer to the girls:

"However, because I'm not interested in hitting girls..."

The next second, a small shoulder bag appeared on Izaya's right hand. He took it upon himself to open the bag and pulled out a cell phone covered with various stickers.

"What? Huh?" The girl only then realized that her backpack had been taken away without her noticing.

"Then I'll cultivate a new hobby: stomping on girls' phones." He said this Izaya tossed the girl's mobile phone into the air. A crisp sound followed as the phone, covered in stickers, rolled to the ground.

"Ugh! You rascal..." Just as the female student angrily bent down to pick it up.

Izaya's shoes brushed past her toes before stepping on the phone that had fallen to the ground.

With a snap, fragments of cracked plastic scattered at Izaya's feet.

Chapter 943 Tokyo in Chaos

"Aaaaaah!" The girl was so frightened by the sudden situation that her mouth dropped open and she let out a piercing scream.

Izaya stomped his right foot again and again. His movements were like those of a precise machine, landing precisely on the same spot. Finally, even his laughter repeated itself mechanically.

"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

"Ugh! Disgusting! This person is definitely sick! I'll go get someone!" The delinquent girl's companion ran outside in fright.

"Anri, are you alright? Teito was really worried about you." Shirou bypassed Izaya's performance area and walked directly to the girl with glasses, asking softly.

"Um... thank you." Sonohara Anri nodded and said softly.

"Speaking of which, is it really not related over there?" Teito looked at Izaya, and the dumbfounded bad girls with surprise.

"Yes, it's alright. Izaya is very gentlemanly towards girls." Shirou smiled easily and nodded.

"Eh..." Ryugamine Mikado and Sonohara Anri exclaimed in surprise.

'Is this a gentleman? If this is a gentleman, then Japan would already be the world's number one country of gentlemen. Could it be that Shirou-kun's womanizing behavior is influenced by this person?' The two of them were mentally ranting.

"Speaking of which, Shirou-kun, why are you here?" Teito asked, voicing his doubts. Of course, he didn't say the last question aloud. Although it would be a blow to his rival, he couldn't bring himself to say it in this situation. After all, Shirou wasn't a bad person.

"I just took the girls to the station. They helped me buy clothes, but then they had to go back first. I can't go home yet. Do you want to grab something to eat?" Shirou lifted the bag in his hand, but Shinra had set a rule for him that he couldn't come back until a certain time.

"Darling! It's him! He's the one who broke my phone!" At that moment, the delinquent girl who had run out called back a man with green hair that had been shaved into a buzz cut. He was wearing long, loose clothes and a gold chain around his neck, and he looked very fierce.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?! Don't think you can leave here without paying enough compensation and damages for emotional distress."

"Hey, are you looking down on me?!"

"Ugh, I'm tired of stepping on phones. Yeah, I have absolutely no respect for you, or rather, I can't see you at all. You're as insignificant as an ant," Izaya said, not even glancing at the man.

"Bastard!!!" The green-haired man glared and threw a punch at Izaya's face. But it was easily dodged, and then he felt his feet being swept away and fell to the ground.

"This time, I'll try my hand at stepping on people again." Izaya Orihara looked at the fallen man and stepped on his back.

"Hahahaha!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!" Izaya Orihara was very happy to step on the man and bounce up and down like he was playing on a trampoline.

"Ughhh!! Darling! Disgusting! This person is definitely sick!"

"Police! Call the police!"

The delinquent girls were so frightened that they ran outside.

"Waaah... This person is so pitiful..."

"When you're fighting, can't you step on other people's feet?" Shirou asked, puzzled.

"Huh?!" Teito and Anri looked at Shirou beside them in surprise, wondering if he was really studying. That's not right! He'd be mistaken for a pervert and arrested by the police!

"No... but fighting itself isn't good... but what if the other party attacks first?" Teito didn't know how to explain it properly.

"Yes, everyone makes different choices. If you encounter this situation, it's better to call the police than to resolve it with force. Of course, there are also stronger people who will choose to resolve it themselves," Anri explained.

"Is that so? So Anri and Teito both relied on their own strengths." Shirou suddenly realized and said with a smile.

"Huh?" the two said, somewhat surprised.

A red light flashed in Anri's eyes. She didn't want to use violence, but when pressed, the foreign object inside her body was still very easy to react. That's why she kept quiet and lowered her head, trying her best to suppress the blade parasitizing her hand and prevent it from emerging.

Because cutting people with a blade is easy, but the key issue is that it's contagious, like a zombie apocalypse.

Ryugamine Mikado was completely unaware that he was actually smiling as he witnessed this bizarre scene. Yes... the boy was yearning for a world different from the ordinary, a world full of strangeness and excitement.

Izaya seemed to have gotten tired of playing, so he climbed off the man and walked to Ryugamine Mikado and Shirou, saying:

"You guys are really amazing! You actually tried to help a girl who was being bullied. Not many kids these days would do that."

"Huh?" Anri looked at Teito and Shirou with some surprise when she heard Izaya's praise.

However, Teito knew that if it were him, the solutions he could come up with would be far too passive. The person who truly helped Anri was actually Izaya, or perhaps Shirou, who was more proactive. Although he was still thinking about making friends with the bad girl on the other side, Teito felt extremely guilty.

"Shirou-kun, we meet again. Just now, a fellow comrade who also loves humans gave an example. Did you learn anything?" Izaya said.

"Huh? Making friends with fists?" Shirou paused for a moment, then looked at Oriya and asked.

Oriya laughed for a while, then looked at the other boy and said, "You really are something! Well, let's just say that. Ryugamine Mikado, our meeting here isn't a coincidence, because I was the one who approached you."

"Huh?"

Before Izaya Orihara could finish speaking, a green metal trash can flew through the air from outside the alley and hit Izaya directly, knocking him to the ground.

Seeing this surreal scene, Ryugamine Mikado extremely surprised, but a hint of excitement shone deep in his eyes. Of course, he wasn't unsympathetic to Izaya who had been sent flying, but at the same time, he was excited about the situation.

Why would a green metal barrel, which staff normally have to move using wheels, be thrown around and hit someone, and fly so far? This is beyond the realm of ordinary human beings! Truly, this is Tokyo! A chaotic metropolis where demons run rampant!

Chapter 944 Shirou and the Sushi Shop

"Lin--Ye--Jun!!!" A tall, blond young man in a bartender's uniform stood there, his limbs slender and long. He stood with his back hunched and his hands in his pockets, looking down at the kneeling youth.
